For catching, whitebait in an unlawful manner, W. McMillan was fined £i, with costs £2 17s at Rangiora (Canterbury). The evidence for the prosecution was to the effect that the defendant dug out a hole in the [shingle of the Ashley river-bed, in which he sunk his net, and made a groyne extending from the hole eight feet into the river-bed to intercept the whitebait. He also paddocked the fish by means of a shingle bank running at right angles to the groyne, which served to guide them to the net.’ The defendant denied that he had done more than make the hole to sink his net. which was a regular practice of the fishermen, the groyne xeferred to being only the shingle thrown out of the hole. In the course of his address at the breaking-np ceremony in connection with the Napier Main School on ThursdayMr C. H. Edwards (Chairman of the School Committee), mentioned that one boy, James Skidmore, had been at the school 9 years, another boy, Robert Smale, 8 years, and a girl, Gertrude Storkey, 7 years, without having missed a single half-day’s attendance Mr Edwards congratulated these pupils and their parents on their commendable regularity, and urged all the pupils to emulate so excellent an example. He also mentioned that in one class of 50 no fewer than 27 had won attendance prizes, 20 of them having been present every half-day. By a curious coincidence a succession of witnesses called by the Drivers’ Union at the Arbitration Court at Christchurch answered a couple oi vital questions put by Mr Darcy, the Union’s representative, in precisely similar terms. When the first witness faced the music he gave his name and occupation, and the examination proceeded. “ Married ?” “ Yes.” “ Any family ?” “ Yes—two.” The second witness happened along. “ Married ?” “ Yes.” “ Any family !” “ Yes—two,” The third deponent came up smiling. “Married ?” “ tfes.” “Any family?” ‘ ‘ Yes—two. ’ ’ A fourth and a filth | individual caught the Judge’s eye, and still the same refrain. “ Married ?” “Yes.” “Any family?” ‘ ‘ yes—two,” Matters were rapidly becoming monotonous. The sixth witness clambered in the box less jauntily than his fellows. ‘' Married ?” “ Yes.” “ Any family ?” ‘ * Yes—only one. ’ ’ The admission was made hesitatingly, the father with the solitary olive branch being evidently reluctant to lower the cradle average of his honourable calling. But it saved the situation from tediousness.

Why is SANDER AND SON'S PURE VOLATILE EUCALYPTI EXTRACT Superior to any other eucalyptus product ? Because it is the result of full experience, and of a special and careful process of manufacture, and the dangers attending the use of the irresponsible preparations which are now palmed off as “ Extracts ” are avoided. A death was recently reported from the use of one of these concoctions, an 1 at an action-at-law a sworn witness testified that he suffered the most cruel irritation from the application to an ulcer of anothe which was sold as just as good as Sander’s extract. Therefore, beware of such deception I Remember that a drop that cures is better than a tablespoonful that kills, and insist upon the preparation which was proved by experts at the Supreme Court of Victoria, and by numerous authorities during the past 35 years to be a product of genuine merit, viz., the genuine SANDER AND SONS 1 PURE VOLATILE eucalypti extract.
